Summary

The React Native FlatList component provides a simple way to display scrollable lists in mobile applications. To take advantage of its features, such as infinite scroll pagination and pull to refresh, developers can use GraphQL and Apollo Client libraries to manage data loading and management. By using the `FlatList` component with Apollo Client's refetch method, developers can easily implement pull to refresh behavior, while also leveraging caching, network status tracking, and other critical features that reduce boilerplate code. This approach enables product developers to spend less time managing data and more time building a great application, resulting in a better developer experience.
